I realize your point is that Russia is trying to find any wedge issue they can to cause infighting, but that was a frustrating example.

A lot of Trump supporters are voting to cause direct harm to marginalized groups, and have made it a part of their daily identity. "If I caught a man using the same bathroom as my daughter, I'd fuck him up." (real quote from someone I know)

A vegan voting to get rid of meat subsidies simply doesn't want to pay for your meat. Or voting for animal rights isn't voting to cause you direct harm like blocking crucial medical care. Also, most vegans usually keep to themselves. The only reason it seems like they tell everyone is how often they are asked, "wait, are you vegetarian?" every time they dare to order tofu/veggies instead of meat.

Source: I'm not even vegan or vegetarian, but have probably been asked a hundred times. I can only imagine how often a vegan is asked that question.
